Job description

We are seeking an accomplished Java Full Stack Developer to architect, design, develop, and maintain enterprise-grade web applications and distributed systems that operate at significant scale and across multiple business domains. In this role you will be responsible for the end-to-end engineering lifecycle, from translating business requirements into robust technical designs, to writing production-quality code, to deploying cloud-native services and supporting them through their full operational lifespan. The successful candidate will bring deep backend expertise in Java and the Spring ecosystem, combined with strong hands-on experience building responsive, component-driven front-end applications using modern JavaScript frameworks. You will work closely with product managers, architects, DevOps engineers, and fellow developers in an Agile environment to deliver high-quality, secure, and performant applications that directly support strategic business outcomes.

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in computer science, Engineering, or a closely related technical discipline.
  • Five or more years of professional software development experience building production-grade enterprise applications.
  • Strong, demonstrable understanding of data structures, algorithms, computational complexity, and end-to-end system design principles.
  • Advanced working knowledge of Java (versions 11 and 17), the Spring Boot framework, and the design of clean, idiomatic RESTful APIs.
  • Hands-on, production-level experience designing and operating microservices architectures, including service decomposition, inter-service communication, and observability patterns.
  • Proven experience developing front-end applications using React, with working familiarity in Angular or Vue considered a strong plus.
  • Strong SQL skills and meaningful experience working with relational databases such as PostgreSQL, MySQL, Oracle, or SQL Server, including query tuning and schema design.
  • Solid experience with CI/CD tooling and Git-based version control workflows, including branching strategies, code review practices, and release management.
  • Hands-on experience deploying applications to at least one major cloud platform (AWS, Azure, or GCP), including familiarity with managed services, networking, and identity primitives.
  • Strong debugging, troubleshooting, and root-cause analysis skills, with the discipline to investigate problems methodically and document findings clearly., * Experience designing and operating event-driven architectures using Kafka, RabbitMQ, or equivalent streaming platforms.
  • Familiarity with containerization and orchestration using Docker and Kubernetes in production environments.
  • Exposure to distributed system design principles such as eventual consistency, CAP trade-offs, idempotency, and saga patterns.
  • Experience writing automation tests using modern frameworks and contributing to test-driven and behavior-driven development practices.
